Voter suppression, seen in various forms, disenfranchises minority voters and hinders their right to vote. The Brennan Center for Justice reports 34 restrictive voting laws in 19 states in 2021, mostly supported by Republicans, affecting minority voters. Also, organized groups aim to control the election process, spreading misinformation and challenging voting machines.

Personal Pronouns
The issue of proscribed use of personal pronouns as legally compelled speech is complex and unresolved in courts.

The Supreme Court has yet to rule, but compelling government interest must be demonstrated in such cases, particularly regarding transgender rights and discrimination.
